SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 616,788, dated December27, 1898.

Application filed March 13, 1897. Renewed August 27, 1898. Serial No.689,702. (N0 model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM HAAS, a citizen of the United States ofAmerica, residing at Lyndon, in the countyof Osage and State of Kansas,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Stovepipe-Shelves;and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in theart to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being hadto the accompanying drawings, and to letters of reference markedthereon, which form a part of this speciiication.

This invention relates to stovepipe-shelves.

The object is to provide a shelf that may be firmly secured in positionupon a stovepipe of any shape in cross-section, which may be readilyadjusted vertically, so as to bring it to any desired proximity to thestove, and which will combine efficiency and durability of production.

The invention consists in the novel construction and combination ofparts of a stovepipe-shelf, as will be hereinafter fully described andclaimed.

In the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, inwhich like letters of reference indicate corresponding parts, Figure lisa view in plan, displaying the shelf as it appears when attached to a`pipe and ready for use. Fig. 2 is a view in sectional elevation, takenon the line 2 2 of Fig. l, showing the shelf attached to the pipe. Fig.3 is a perspective detail view of a portion of the shelf, displayingmore particularly the clamping-ring and the plates in engagementtherewith.

Referring to the drawings, A designates the.

rim of the shelf, the saine comprising two semicircular sections a,made, preferably, of wire and having their ends bent inward t0- wardeach otherto form arms d2 and then at right angles to constitute toes a3for engaging a clamping-ring B. Secured to each of these sections a,preferably by having their outer ends bent around them, is aseries ofradially-disposed su pportin g-plates a4, provided with longitudinalslots d5 and with toes a6, also for engaging the ring B, the latterbeing made, in this instance, in two sections,`

' corresponding to the number of plates over which they cross, the slotsd and d2 registering with the slots a5, so as to permit of bolts a7being passed through each of the three sets of slots to hold the sets ofplates assembled, as shown in Fig. l.

In mounting the shelf on a stovepipe the collars B operate as a meansfor holding the shelf in position as the toes a3 of thejrim B and thetoes CLG of the plates a4 are clamped between the collar and the pipe,and when the bolts b2 of this collar are tightened the shelf will besecured to the pipe. The plates D D are then adjusted in the describedmanner and the nuts on the bolts a7 are tightened, l

thereby clamping all the parts securely together.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. Astovepipe-shelf comprisinga sectional rim, radially-disposedsupporting-plates having their outer ends secured to the rim and theirinner ends bent at right angles thereto, plates arranged above and belowthe supporting-plates, bolts passed through slots in the three sets ofplates and a collar against which the inturned ends of thesupporting-plates will bear when the parts are assembled, substantiallyas described.

2. A stovepipe-shelf comprising a sectional rim A, having arms a2 andtoes a3 radiallydisposed supporting-plates a4 secured to Jshe the partsare assembled, substantially as de-l rim and having slots a and toes a,plates D, scribed. 1o arranged beneath the supporting-plates and Intestimony whereof I'aflix my signature having slots d, plates D2arranged above said in presence of two Witnesses.
